Jersey Dr. Henry Race, of Pittstovvn, directed nie to the Kingwood Records. Through the kindness 
of the Custodian, Mr. Abrani R. Vail, of Quakertown, unfortunatelj^ recently deceased, free access 
to them was given me. So much of interest to so many people was discovered that the notes then 
taken were regarded of sufficient value to publish. l%very efi'ort has been used to avoid errors but 
the nature of the work was such that some minor ones may not have escaped notice. The work 
has been a labor of love upon the part of both tlie compiler and publisher.

;HE region about Quakertown, New Jersey, 
was settled by Friends at an early date, 
how early it is impossible now to deter- 
mine with exactness. A few old deeds which 
have escaped the ravages of time indicate that 
some of the families were there about 1726 or 
1727. The Friends who were early settlers were 
members of Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, of Bur- 
lington County. In the minutes of that Meeting, 
under date of 10th. 4, 1729, the following minute 
is found : "Thomas Williams, Samuel Sc-hooley 
and others made application to this meeting 
that, whereas, their settlement being remote from 
Friends, they request Friends approbation and 
consent to meet together at one of their houses 
every First day of the Aveek to worship God ; 
whereupon this meeting, well knowing the advan- 
tage the people of God have in meeting together 
in His name, approve of their so doing until there 
be an established meeting nearer to them, or until 
Friends see some inconveniency in their so doing." 
This is supposed to be the authority for the estab- 
lishing of the Bethlehem Monthly Meeting, which 
afterwards became the Kingwood Meeting, the 
name of the township having been changed to the 
latter. In the act itself it will be noticed that 
the location of the settlement is not given. There 
is no evidence of the appointment of overseers 
until 1731, when a proposition was brought out 
"to appoint overseers for Bethlehem." 

In 1733 Samuel Large, Samuel Willson, John 
Stevenson, Edward Kockhill and Joseph King act 
as trustees for four acres of land for the use of the 
meeting, which are deeded by Jacob Doughty. 
Nothing is known of the date of the erection of 
the original meeting-house. It is said to have 
been a log house, and to have stood about thirty 
yards southwest of the present building"'. 

The establishment of a busintss meeting in 1744 
is indicated by the following extract from the 
minutes ; John Simcock is supposed to liave been 
the clerk. 

*The writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness 
for the preceding iuforniation to a paper by Mrs. Mary C. 
Vail.

quest, and after deliberate and weighty considera-

as they live very remote from any ISIonthly Meet- 
ing which must needs be on Several accounts 
inconvenient to them. They have Liberty to hold 
a ISIonthly Meeting among themselves, and it is 
Agreed that the said meeting be held the Second 
day in each Month : And the Clerk is desired to 
give them a copy of this Minute. 

A true Copy pr. Caleb Raper Clerk. 

No better history of Kingwood Meeting can be 
written than that which is contained in the Min- 
utes. The following quotations, in their quaint 
language, tell the story : 

11 1 1744 15. "Jeremiah Williams reports 
that he carried Seventy shillings which was col- 
lected at our last Monthly Meeting to the Quar- 
terly Meeting and paid it to Caleb raper (the 
Treasurer) towards the Yearly Meetings Stock." 

11 12 1744. "This meeting taking into con- 
sideration the necessity of Building a new Meet- 
inghouse in this place have Unanimously agreed

this meeting grants and appoints Samuel Willson 
Junr. shall serve in the place of an overseer at 
particular Meeting." 

12 (i 1745. " This meeting taking into consid- 
eration that it would answer much better both in 
respect of our own affairs and also because our 
Monthly Meeting interferes with some other adja- 
cent meetings so that both cannot Ijoth be so 
well attended as otherwise they might be if our 
Monthly Meeting were settled o'li the Second Fifth 
day in every month \\ herefore it is concluded that 
those Friends who shall be appointed to attend 
next Quarterly Meeting do make request accord- 
ingly and that our request be inserted in our 
report to the next meeting. This meeting agrees 
and it is Concluded that our Alonthly Meetings 
and Meetings of Worship both on First days and

subsciibed towards dischargeing the same ;" 

16 9 1748. At this meeting Friends at the

that the Meetinghouse shall be built at the same

Chesterfield to which is added the following : 

14 5 1752. " We have had under our consid- 
eration the visiting of families and tho we are sen- 
sible that it is a good work where it is rightly 
performed yet we are under some difficulty to get 
such among us as are suetable and willing to 
undertake it being a small Meeting and few of us 
looking upon ourselves sutable for that weiglity 
service. And we have likewise considered the 
proposal for settling a school, but being few of us 
and so remote from each other and some of us 
under low circumstances so that it seems unlikely 
to us that we shall be able to raise a suflficient 
sallary to support such a school. Otherwise we 
should be very free and heartily join with the 
proposal believing it would in some degree answer 
the good purpose intended." 

11 4 1754. Samuel Large, Gershom Mott 
Junior and Robert Large aie appointed to visit 
the families of Friends at Kingwood and else- 
where belonging to that Meeting and Josiah Dyer,

21 9 1752. " Pursuant to the order of the 
last Q. M. held at Burlington the Clerk of the said 
Meeting sent a copy of a Minute made at the said 
Meeting which is as foUoweth vizt. " At a Q. 
M: held at Burlington the 31st of the 8th month 
1752 This meeting observing something slender in 
the report from Bethlehem and being disatisfied 
with it was informed by some Friends not of that 
Meetiui!; that a difference was among them relat- 



ing to the rebuilding the roof of the Meetinghouse 
this Meeting therefore for the sake of peace and to 
prevent further contention thought it necessary to 
consider the conveniency and inconveniency of 
both proposals and upon the whole is of opinion 
th'it the form the roof of the said Meetinghouse 
was before built in is much the best both as it 
regards the conveniency of the women friends and 
the conveniency of galleries and the Clerk is ordered 
to send a copy of this minute to the said Meeting. 
By order of the Q. M. Sam'l. Smith Clerk." 

21 9 17.':2 N. S. "Eleven nominal days of 
this month being omitted between the second and 
fourteenth days in compliance to the late Act of 
the Parliament and pursuent to the advise and 
direction recommended to the Quarterly and 
Monthly Meetings of Friends by the London Year- 
ly Meetings epistle of the seventh month 1751." 

9 11 1752. "The Clerk is desired to write 
to the Overseers of HardAvick Meeting and to the 
Meeting also to let them understiind that this 
IVIeeting looks upon it that they are remiss in 
their duty in neglecting to make due report of 
the state of their Meeting and to desire them to be 
more careful to attend at our Monthly Meeting 
more frequentily, or at least to send a report of 
the state of their Meeting to the Monthly Meeting 
next before every Quarterly Meeting. 

8 2 1753. Samuel Smith's request for having a 
meeting of worship settled at his house in Green- 
wich hath been deliberately considered and foras- 
much as he lives very remote from any meeting of 
Friends it is concluded and agreed on by this 
Meeting that they shall have privelege to hold a 
meeting there the Second First day in every 
month so long as Friends of this Monthly Meeting 
may see a service in continuing it for the promul- 
gation of the truth. 

9, 5, 1754. In addition to the usual report to 
Chesterfield Q. M. taken by Samutl Large and 
Jacob Burdsal the following : 

We have to general satisfaction finished rebuild- 
ing our Meetinghouse according to the former 
model as we were advised by the Quarterly Meet- 
ing so far that we hold our meetings there, it 
being about as near completion as it was before it 
was burnt the whole cost of rebuilding amounts 
to ujiwards of one hundred and seven pounds and 
we fall short in payment about twenty three 
pounds which is disbursed to the workmen by one 
of the managers in behalf of this Meeting and 
we are but a small number and several of us not 
of ability to pay much more than what they have 
lately paid towards ))uildiug and rebuilding of it. 
We desire that Friends of the Quarterly Meeting 
will be pleased to help us once more therein.

13 5 1756. It is concluded that those Friends

Preparitive Meeting there every fourth day of 
the week next but one before every Monthly 
Meeting and they shall make report of their pro- 
ceedings therein to the Monthly Meeting here 
successively if required by this monthly meeting. 

Idem. It will be most convenient for us be- 
cause we live remote from each other that the 
Select Meeting shall be held at our Meetinghouse 
in Kingwood the sixth day of the week next 
succeeding the monthly meeting before every 
Quarterly meeting. 

10 6 1756. It is concluded by this Meeting 
that Friends belonging to Kingwood Meeting 
shall hold a Preparitive meeting there the Fifth 
day of the week next before every Monthly Meet- 
ing aud they shall make report of their proceedings 
therin successsively to the M. M. if required. 

10 3 1757. An extract from the Minutes of 
the last Q. M. held at Burlington concerning such 
as make profession with us that pay tines to screen 
themselves from distress for thtir neglect or refusal 
to act in military services was read and the clerk 
is desired to enter the same at large in the Month- 
ly Meetings books of Minutes Avhich is as foUow- 
eth vizst. At a Q. M. held at Burlington the 
28th of the 2d month 1757 as to that part of the 
report from the Bethlehem requesting the advice 
of this meeting touching those that pay fines to 
screen themselves from distress when it is likely 
to come among them through their neglecting 
military service after weighty consideration it is 
the judgment of this meeting that such ought to 
be tenderly but earnestly laboured with to convince 
their judgments of the manifest breach of our 
ancient Christian testimony such a conduct must 
always make as well as the inconsistency of 
it with our profession and after a suitable labour 
and Christian forbeai-ance it appears there is no 
hope of such being reclaimed judgment is to be 
placed upon them in the manner prescribed by 
the discipline. ' ' 

12 5 1757. The clerk is desired to enter the 
extract of the Q. M's minute concerning settling 
a youths meeting at Kingwood which is as fol- 
loweth vizt. 

At a Q. M. held at Burlington on the 28th. day 
of the 2d. month 1757 the meeting took into con- 
sideration that part of the report from Kingwood 
resi^ecting the appointment of a youths meeting 
do order that a youths meeting be held there the 
5th day immediately following the Q. il. in the 



5th. month every year. The proposal concerning 
a youths meeting at Hardwick is left for further 
consideration. 

10 11 1757. Hardwick desires a youths meet- 
ing on the 3d. day of the same week as our M. yi. 
is held in the 9th. month every year. 

10 5 1759, We have considered the request of 
Hardwick Friends for holding our M. M. there 
sometimes and for their ease and to bear part of 
the burden with them do condescend that it 
may be held there at present alternately vizt. 
every other month and to continue so till Friends 
of this Meeting may see cause to order it other- 
wise and begin there the first time at the siime 
time as as our next M. M. falls in course.

their Meetinghouse at Hardwick 40 feet long and 
25 feet wide in the clear with one chimney and a 
coal hearth.

Q. M. we have appointed Peter Schmuck and 
Jacob Lundy to attend the committee who are to 
consider the rebuilding of Hardwick Meeting- 
house in order to inform of our agreement con- 
cerning the plan of the said house which is as fol- 
loweth vizt. 40 feet long and 25 feet wide in the 
clear and one story high. We have raised by 
subscription at Hardwick and Kingwood the sum 
of 80 pounds. 

10 11 1763. At the request of friends at

8 9 1774. An epistle of advice was produced 
from the meeting for sufferings as follows : 

A considerable time was spent in this meeting 
in a weighty consideration of the fluctuating state 
of peoples minds under the situation of public 
aiTairs. It api»eared to be the sense of this meet- 
ing that it would l)e s;ifest and most consi.stent for 
us as a religious society to keep as niucli as possi- 
ble from mixing with the people in their human 
policies and contrivances and to forbear meeting 
in their public consultations as snares and dangers 
may arise from meetings of that kind however 
well disposed particulai-s may be to mitigate and 
soften the violent disi)ositions to prevalent it 
being a season in whidi it is abundantly needfid 
to seek best wisdom to guide and preserve in 
.sjifety and consistency of conduct witli our reli- 
gious profession .

the Extract of our Yearly Meeting the following

MAURI AGES. 

The followin;, records of marriages are obtained 
from two sources. 'I'he first group is gathered 



from the Minutes. Where there are two names 
given the date is that of the first declaration of 
intention to marry. The marriage occurred after 
the second declaration. Where only one name is 
given the date is approximate. In such cases the 
name of the husband or wife is not given in the 
Minutes. The second group is taken from a l)ook 
which bears the following title : A BOOK FOK 
REGESTERING THE NAMES TIMES OF THE 
BIKTHS OF THE CHILDREN OF SUCH WIK^ 
ARE MEMBERS OF THE RELIGIOUS SOCIE- 
TY OF THE PEOPLE CALLED QUAKERS 
(AND OF SOME BURIALS OF SOxME BELONG- 
ING TO KIN(; WOOD MEETING) BELONGING 
TO THEIR MONTHLY MEETING IN KING- 
WOOD IN HUNTEiU)0\ COUNTY IN THE 
WESTERN DIVISION OF THE PROVINCE OF 
NEW JERSEY. 

The Kingwood Meeting has passed away but 
the book has been religiously preserved by its 
successor, the Quakertown Monthly Meeting. 
The records are interesting to thousimds of persons 
scjittered over the United Stiites in whose veins 
some of this ancient blood is coursing. Names 
are found here wliich have taken a permanent 
place in the Nation's history; others once promi- 
inent have disappeared from this part of the 
country, are entirely unknown where originally 
they were a power, but have reappeared in other 
parts of tlie country; others again sound strangely 
and are generally unknown. These records and 
the minutes represent tlie everyday life of a sturdy 
race; there is a vein of sadness running through 
them and a puritanic idea of life which opens up 
to us the mentiil frame of those of our ancestors 
who came to this country to escape religious 
pereecution. 

The cover of the book is an old deed, sewed on 
with coarse thread and long stitches, the parcii- 
ment having been cut and patched to get the 
proper size. A great deal of the writing has been 
obliterated by age and handling but some things 
can be made out. The deed which was executed 
in "the Fifth Year of the reign of Queen ANN" 
is evidently the story of the sale of a piece of land 
situated "between Ridley Creek and Crum Creek 
in the County of Chester and in the Province of 
Pennsilvania." John Wood is the grantor and 
•John FFawcet the grantee; John Dawson's name 
appears and the dates 1708 and 1710. The writ- 
ing is so faded that it is impossible to get a con- 
nected descrii)tion of the property. John Simcock 
was Deputy Recorder. Those familiar with tlie 
History of the Society of Friends and of Ciiester 
County will recognize all these names as l)el.)nging 
to prominent people. The connection between 
the deed, Ciiester County, Pennsylvania, and the

In the following records of marriages no attempt 
is made to reproduce the formula used in making 
the record except in the first one recorded. This 
one is given verbatim as a sample of the wording. 
The wording is not exactly the same in all but 
the difference is due to the jvriting having been 
done by different persons. The groom signed first, 
then the newly made wife and then the witnesses. 
I have separated the first two from the others by 
a semi-colon. These names help to locate many 
persons whose personality was supposed to have 
disippeared entirely. Several names could not be 
deciphered with certainty; in such case an interro- 
gation point has been enclosed in parenthesis. 
The order of the records has been generally fol- 
lowed. The nearness of two names sometimes in- 
dicates husband and wife. 

5 10 1752 Whereas Benjamin Canby of 
Solesbury in the County of Bucks & Province 
of Pennsyllvania & Martha Whitson of Amwell in 
tlie County of Hunterdon New West Jersey hath 
declared their intentions of Marriage before sev- 
eral Monthly Meetings of the People called Qua- 
kers according to the good Order used amongst 
them & having consent of Parents & Relations

MEMORIALS. 
In the following obituary notices the spelling 
and puBCtuation have been preserved. Being a 
"faithful attender at Meetings both for worship 
and discipline" seems to have been one of the 
tests of a correct walk and conversation. 
A Memorial of the Time of Death and 
Burial of Joseph King, Senior. 
Our antient Friend Joseph King departed this 
life the 10th. Day of the 12th. Month 1761. In the 
Seventy eight year of his age, and was Inter'd in 
Friends BuryingGround at Kingwood the Eleventh 
day of the Same Month. He was not, as could be 
perceived attended by any Violent illness, and he 
departed quietly as one going to Sleep. He was 
esteem'd amongst us, to be an Honest Sober Inno- 
cent well minded man, a good & Inoffensive Neigh- 
bor, well beloved of Friends & Others, for which 
reasons he was appointed an Elder amongst us 
before the Select-meeting was settled here, and 
for the Same reasons hath been continued an 
Elder amongst us ever Since until his Death, and 
we doubt not, but that he is gone to Eternal rest. 
A Memorial of the Time of the Death and 
Burial of Samuel Willson, Senior. 
Our antient Friend Samuel Willson Died thee 
Nineteenth Day of the Twelfth month 1761 and 
•vvas Inter'd in Friends Burying Ground at King- 
wood the Twenty-Second Day of the Same Month 
about the Eightieth year of his Age. He was a 
Minister many years which in a general way was 
well received amongst his Friends. He was a 
Diligent attender of our Meetings both of Wor- 
shop and Discipline, till of late years when 
through his ability & Natural Strength failed so 
much that he was not able to Stay During the 
time that Meetings are generally held. His Life 
and Conversation (in a good degree) was Solid 
Sober and Orderly, agreeable to his Ministry. He 
was Suddenly Siezed with Death not Lying any 
time Sick so that he had no time then to declare 
any that might be on his mind to Speak to any of 
his Friends. Yet we have good reason to Hope 
when we consider his former Conduct while he 
was in his Health and Strength that he has 
gone to Enjoy that Immortal Crown that is laid 
up for the Righteous. 

Aged 80 years, 5 months, & 14 days.

CoNX'EKNixci Samuel Lakcje Sexiok. 
This our said Antieut Friend Samuel Large De- 
parted this Life at his House in Kingvvootl, Tlie 
9th. Day of the 6th Month 17()5, and was decently 
Inter'd in Friends Kuring jilaoe there. 

He was Heligiously Enclined when younji in 
years (as lie related at times) By l)eing Early Vis- 
ited, insomuch, he thoufiht hecould freely Declare 
to othei-s of the GofKlnessiS: merciful kind dealings 
of Gotl to his Soul. But for want of (iiving dili- 
gent heed to the inshineings of that inward Light 
which had Measureably Redeemed him, he came 
to a loss of the Sweet and Heavenly Communion 
which he had l>een made a Sliarer of, and l>egan to 
join with Folly and Vanities which youth is apt 
to, hut in Process of time being re-\'isited by an 
All Merciful God, Gave uj) to liei^r the Cross, and 
about the Tliirtietli Year of his Age, he was made 
willing to give up to bear a publick Testimony, & 
to Declare to others what God had done for his 
Soul, which Testimony was Living and Powerful, 
«& Tending to the refreshing and Watering of the 
Lords Heritage and People, being often concer'd, 
where his Lot was cast, to invite and persuade 
people to seek the Lord for themselves that 
So they might know the work of Regeneration 
wrought and Completed in and for themselves, he 
freely gave up to Spend both his time and sub- 
stance on Truths account, when call'd thereto. 
He visited Several Provinces on this Continent, 
and Some divers times in his Younger yejirs he 
was diligent in attending Meetings both for Wor- 
ship and Discipline, and Quarterly and yearly 
meetings when in Health and ability of Body, he 
was a (Jenerous kind open hearted Friend ready 
to do good to all, but especially to the Household 
of Faith, very ready in assisting the Servixnts and 
Messengers of Christ, when Traveling on that ac- 
count. He brought up his Children in Plainess 
of Speech and Aparel, a great Encourager of his 
Family and others, in attending Meetings, that 
they might discharge their Duties which they Owe 
unto their maker. In tlie Later part of his days, 
when old, he met with E.xercises it great Difficul- 
ties, Yet ( tho in his declining age, and Natural 
Capacities weak) We have g<K)d reason to believe, 
as to an inward State of Mind, he Lived past & 
through them all, and that lie Died in Peace with 
the Lord and in good will to all mankind And is 
Entered into Rest and Reaps the Reward of the 
Faithful, where Troubles and Exercises are at 
an End.

KiXGWoon MoxTHLY Meetixg's Testimoxy 
Coxcerxixg Jeremiah Williams. 
Our antient friend and Elder Jeremiah Wil- 
liams came to rezide amongst us Recommended 
from a ^lonthly Meeting of friends on Long Island 
as an Honest Sober and orderly member of our 
Religious Society in I'nity and manyyeai-she was 
a ser\ isable member and a Diligent and Consfavnt 
attender of our meetings for Worship and Discip- 
line, until he Suffer'd his mind to be too much 
Cast Down under the Thoughts of Some Disap- 
pointments and Troubles he meet with. He did 
not attend our Meetings So Constant as he ha*l 
heretofore Done but we have Good reason to 
believe Some time before his Death he Witnessed 
in a great measure an overcoming his former 
Troubles and Exercises. He was a generous and 
kind open Harted man in Entertiiiiiiiig Friends 
and such as Travel abroad in the Service of Truth. 
Some time liefore his Death he was attended with

Concerning Mary Simcock. 

This our antient Friend deceased During the 
time she resided amongst us, which was upwards 
of Thirty Years was a diligent attender of Meet- 
ings lioth on First and other Days of the week, in 
which she was a go(Ml Example in patient waiting 
on the Lord, to feel the Renewiiigs of His divine 
power. She had also a gift in the Ministery and 
tho not large in Testimony, yet faithfully Labour- 
ing in the Ability received was edefying to those 
whose Harts were prepared of the Lord to receive 
His messengers tho small in appearance She wiis a 
peaceable kind Neighbor, and well esteemed by 
all and altho through Age and Infirmity of body 
she was render'd incapable of attending Meetings 
for some years beft)re she died, yet she retained 
her Love to truth and Friends, and we Doubt not 
has made a happy Change, and now Enjoying the

daughter of Nicholas and Jane Wain of the North- 
ern Liberties of the City of Phila. honest Friends 
to whom she was obedient in her youth, and as 
she grew in years she was Concern 'd to be a sensi- 
ble witness of the operation of truth in her own 
Heart, and keeping Carefully under this concern, 
she was many times sweetly Comforted in spirit, 
which Favour she prized above the Enjt)yment of 
earthly Treasure. 8he was likewise concerned 
for the good of her fellow Mortals and after some 
Keasonings in her own mind gave up to declare in 
a publick manner what the Lord had done for 
her Soul. Her testimony was well receiv'd after 
which she frequently appeared in Publick as long 
as she was of ability to attend Meetings, and when 
her natural strength and faculties were much im- 
pairVl it was evident that she still retain'd that 
good part which had been her Early choice, for 
when several Friends of Kingwood Meeting came 
to visit us a few Months before her Departure, in 
time of our silent waiting she sat still and quiet 
and after some Time sitting, appear'd in publick 
Testimony in a solid sensiable manner, and in 
supplication also, which plainly demonstrated, 
that the Lord still favoured with his living pres- 
ence, giving Strength and ability to her who had 
really no strength of her own. She was a loving 
faithful! wife, and a true Helpmeet in things that 
pretain to the Interest of our Immortal Nature an 
affectionate and Exemplary Mother, patient in 
affliction of Body of Mind, and Departed quietly

but that she is now in the Enjoyment of endless 
Felicety, haveing received the Crown which the 
Lord a Righteous Judge shall give to all those 
who love his appearance and walk uprightly as 
she did. John Simcock 2(5-9-1771.

Travel'd with Such as a gide to other meetings ; 
he Lived in the fear of the Lord : and was much 
Concern'd that Love and unity might be obtained 
among friends and Deeply affected when anything 
of a contrary Nature arose to obstruct it. In his • 
last Illness which was but short he intirely re-

A Testimony from the Monthly Meeting at 
Kingwood Concerning John Simcock. 

This our Antient friend and Elder John Sim- 
cock was from the time of his coming to reside 
among us which was upwards of thirty years : a 
n)an of few words and a quiet inoffensive spirit, 
which gained him the Love and Esteem of his 
Friends and Neighbors : Very Patient in Afflic- 
tion of which he had a large Shear, and Lob- 
boured under the Infirmities attendant on old 
age, with apparent Resignation of mind. Divers 
times Espressing his freedom for Dissolution 
which he waited for, and hoped he should pa- 
tiently wait the Lord's time that being the best 
time. He was a Diligent attender of our Reli- 
gious meetings both for Worship and Discipline, 
while of ability of Body being Exemplary therein, 
in patient waiting and we have to believe he was 
often Comforted therein having been heard to say 
he did not attend meetings because otliers did, 
but because he found a secret benefit in so doing. 
In short we may say he was a Tender Husband 
an aft"ectionate Father, and Kind Neighbor and 
not long before his Decease, bore a Testimony in 
his Family against the Excessive use of Spiritous 
liquors. He departed this Life the 23rd. of 4th 
month 177:>, in the H'^th year of his age, and was 



24 



Decently interred in friends Buryin<>; Ground at 
Kingwood aforesjiid.

KiNGWooD Concerning Robert Large. 
Our much Esteemed Friend and Elder Robert 
Large who Departed this Life the :27th of the 4th. 
montli 1774, in the r>^th year of his age, was from 
his youth a nian of a jK'aceable and Quiet spirit, 
one who sincerely loved the trutli and its faithful 
followers, and being Concerned for many years to 
live near unto, and witness the influence of tlie 
Blessed principle wliich we profess, he became a 
Diligent attender of our religious Meetings both 
for worship and Discipline wherein he was a 
patient humble waiter for the ariseing of Divine 
Life whereby he witnessed his Strength to be re- 
newed, and often Expressed his satisfaction in so 
attending. He was thus Enabled to Lead an 
honest Circumspect Life, being a good Example 
among us, in maintaining our Christian Testi- 
mony in its primitive simplicit}^ and althohe had 
not a publick Testimony to bear, yet we Esteemed 
hira a preacher of Righteousness in his Life and 
Conversation. He was a tender Husband an 
Affectionate Father a Kind Neighbour and very 
Charitable to the poor. Wherefore in great Love 
to him, and Esteem for his memory we have 
given this brief Testimony Concerning him.

Memorial of thio Monthly Meeting of King- 
wood Concerning Mary Hornor Deceased. 
She was born at Mansfield in the County of 
Burlington, West New Jersey, in the Year 1736, 
of Parents in membership with Friends ; her 
Father, Thomas Potts, dying when she was a 
child, she was educated by her Mother, Sarah 
Potts, in the Profession of the truth as held by 
us : and early discovered a (juickness of Appre- 
hension and Strength of I'nderstanding beyond 
many others, her tender Mind while in her Mi- 
nority, was sensibly reached with a divine Visi- 
tation of the Love of God ; and as she grew to 
riper years, she was preserved in a good Decree of 
circumspect Walking in his Fear, her Conversa- 
tion being Serious, sensible and guarded ; and 
often times her grave Deportment was useful as a 
Check to her Companions. In the year 1757 she 
was marryed to Is;iac Horner, and filled the Sta- 
tion of a faitlifull and prudent Wife and Mother. 
In the l)eginning of tlie year 17(iH She appeared in 
pul)lick as a Minister, her Testimony, l)eing Short 
and Lively, was generally well received. In the 
year 177U She removed with her husband iK: Fam- 



ily to settle within the Compass of this Meeting, 
and has since resided amongst us, to the tinu^ of 
her Decease. Through the Influence of the Love 
of God, shed abroad in her heart, by a life of un- 
affected Piety and a godly Circomspection of Con- 
duct and Conversation, she hath obtained a good 
Report, not only amongst us with whom she was 
joined in religious Communion, but also amongst 
People of all ranks and religious I'ersuasions ; 
being remarkable for her unreserved, Charitable 
Openness and innocent Freedom of Deportment 
towards all. In 1772 she had the Concurrence of 
This Meeting in a Visit to some of the Meetings 
in the Lower part of this Province ; and the suc- 
ceeding Winter in visiting all the Families within 
the Verge of this Monthly Meeting in Company 
with sundry other Friends ; since which she has 
visited all the ^Meetings and most, if not all the 
Private P^'amilies belonging to the yearly Meeting 
of Flushing ; in which she had good Service and 
was generally well received, as Testifj'ed in a 
Number of Certificates Produced at her Return 
She afterwards, in Company with Samuel East- 
burn and others, visited a number of the Families 
belonging to the Monthly meeting of Bucking- 
ham. In 1775 she obtained a Minut of the Con- 
cerrence of this Meeting, to visit the Meetings of 
Friends along the Sea Shore, and in the lower Part 
of this Pro\ince in which Service she caught a 
sevear Cold, which l)rought on a pretty swift De- 
cay ; under which She languised upwaidsof Eight 
months, near half of which Time she nevertheless, 
attended Meetings During her Indisposition, her 
quiet Composure of Spirit, and cheerfull Resigna- 
tion to the will of her hea^•enly Master was truly 
edifying. She told a Friend who visited her not 
long before her Departure that tho Death ap- 
peared a dark Passjige, yet all was Light beyond 
it. And to another, who bid her farewell at part- 
ing, she said, I sliall fare well when I am red of 
this Body. And She was remarkably clear in her 
understanding and said, tho bodily weakness 
prevailed, yet her Spirit felt no Dimnnition of 
Strength ; and Exhorted those about her to place 
their Reliance on the Lord alone, a Confidence 
said she, in which I have never been disiippointed. 
The Evening before She was visibly struck with 
Death, broke fourth into l'>xpressioiis of Praise to 
the Allmighty's and luimljle acknowledgements 
that he had to her, performed all his Promises 
and more ; hatl prepared and sanctifyed her and 
brought her to that hour ; and that She should 
juaise him as long as she continued in the Body, 
and at the Conclusion che^irfuUy surrender Hus- 
band and Children and all that he had given her, 
again into his Hands. In or near her last Hour 
she beckenoned her Husband to come and take his 



last Farewell of her, and then, in a Composed 
Whisper, said thou art a welcome Messenger — 
thon art a wellcome, take me (luickly. She dyed 
on the 31st. Day of the 5th. month 1776 in the 
40th year of her Age, and was buryed in Friends 
Burying Ground, having been upwards of Eight 
years a Minister. Signed in and on behalf of .sd.

Friends after his Departure. 

FRIENDS SUFFERINGS. 

The following list of fines collected during the 
Revolution seems to show that the collectors were 
not specially moved with human kindness. There 
was little equality between the amount of the fine 
and the amount collected. If these records are 
correct the victim of the collector was not always 
the person who was fined. 

The following is a brief Accot. of Friends Suffer- 
ings Belong, to Kingwood, Preparative Meeting
